What decade (century!) is it again?

I'm experiencing some time confusion.

In the car, I'm listening to the audiobook of the last of the "Anne of Green Gables" books, which is set during WWI.

I finished "The Winds of War" on Thursday, and have started in on the sequel, "War and Remembrance" - so that puts me deep into WWII.

But today I spent the afternoon watching "Gone With the Wind" and "Glory" and went spiraling back to the Civil War.

I thought maybe I could find a showing of "Platoon" or "Full Metal Jacket" on one of my many satellite channels, which would have made the time-travel experience complete.

No Viet Nam war flicks available, though, so I'm settling for "Norma Rae" - which is hardly "settling" - Sally Field is rocks as a union organizer!
